HUMILITY PROPHESIED & EXHIBITED IN JESUS

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Humility

a) Humility is something that is gained and practiced as we grow in wisdom and grace. The Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary defines “humility” as: a prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God; it preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trials.

b) Biblical speaking, humility is the opposite of pride. And according to one thesaurus source, some other antonyms for humility are: arrogance, assertiveness, egoism, pretentiousness, and self-importance. 

2. Humility Prophesied And Exhibited In Jesus


Zechariah 9:9 
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey,  on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Mark 10:45 
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Philippians 2:5-8 
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  


The End ...
